Oh, what a wonderful day!!

We had such a wonderful day, I really hated to see it come to an end. I had to go to Target this morning so Mamie and Nolan tagged along with me, while Kyle stayed in bed (lucky thing). Then we loaded the truck up with the old rails from the deck to take to the dump. O.K. let me tell you this, if you don't have to go to the dump please don't. Kyle thought we were helping the garbage men out, but it would have cost us around $38.00 just to dump the stuff ourselves. The guy at the gate was nice enough and didn't charge us this time. Anyway, up to the dump site we go, well the closer we got the smell got worst, then it got even worst Nolan got sick all over himself. I hate to say it I was kind of funny though he just got sick off of the smell. O.K. I am not laughing because he got sick, I guess it is one of those things you had to be there. Mamie just kept saying oh, momma it stinks, it stinks. Now she is laying right beside me and just said "oh, momma I am never going back to that dump, poor little Nolan". O.K. enough of the dump, after we got back we planted our flowers and started cleaning up the front and back yard. Mamie helped, she would bring me the flowers she wanted to plant and then she would pile on the dirt. Nolan just played around, he got a little worn out and Mamie helped him get in the swing, got him a pillow and beach towel and he almost went to sleep, but he didn't. We stayed outside the entire day. Mamie and I headed to the store to get something for dinner. We got back to find Nolan asleep and Kyle sitting out back. I didn't let Nolan sleep long because I knew if I did he wouldn't go to sleep until late tonight. Kyle gave him a bath and we thought he would go straight back to sleep, but things aren't looking to good right now. Mamie and Nolan started a movie 101 Dalmatians. Nolan came in the den and his little eyes were watering. I didn't think anything of it just thought he was sleepy, he just kept whining, Kyle said "see if he has fever" and sure enough my little man has fever. Mamie has fallen asleep watching her movie, my mother sent it to her and she has watched it about 10 times since last Friday. She watched it twice last Saturday, once or twice Sunday and every day before going to school. Then I think she watched it once or twice when she got home from school. Well, we had a great day, just sad that Nolan is not feeling too well. I am hoping that he is just worn out from a big day of playing. I hope everyone stayed outside and enjoyed this wonderful day like we did.

No big new, just some pictures I wanted to post

HAPPY EASTER 2008..

We started a long weekend off on Thursday. We headed to Pascagoula to visit MeMom and Papaw Epting. We got there very late, but the children stayed asleep through the night. We woke up Friday with a full plate of activities that MeMom had planned for us. Mamie, MeMom and I dyed Easter eggs. Nolan came in to see what we were doing and he dyed an egg or two before leaving with Papaw and Kyle to run some errands. MeMom, Mamie and I went for a ride just to get out of the house and came back just in time for CRAWFISH!!! After crawfish Mamie, Nolan and MeMom drove the golf cart. I think they rode on it for about two to three hours. They had so much fun. You could hear them laughing and cutting up. At one time I heard Mamie laughing saying she almost ran into a tree. Max ran along side and even caught a ride. Papaw and Klye put together some shelves for Papaw's office. I just sat in the sun and enjoyed what was going on around me. After putting the shelves together Papaw, Mamie, Nolan and I got in the golf cart again, and took Kyle to a trail to ride his dirt bike. After a fun filled day we got ready to get some good seafood and then headed back to the house and all went sound asleep. We woke up Saturday and headed to MeMaw and Pop Ainsworth's house in Wiggins. There we had a wonderful meal with all Kyle's siblings. We had such a wonderful day, we spent it outside all day long, and I mean all day long. The smaller ones hunted eggs, and played until they couldn't play anymore. Then Easter Sunday came and so did the Easter Bunny. Nolan got a Buzz Light Year and some other small stuff and Mamie got a Friendshp Bracelet making kit and some small stuff as well. We all got ready for Church and off we went. All in all we had such a wonderful long weekend. That is the first time in a long time that we actually got to go to Pascagoula and Wiggins for Easter. Here are some pics from the weekend and yes I did get a picture of Kyle on his bike.

Snow in Ridgeland!!

Here are some pictures of Mamie, Nolan and Max playing in the snow last weekend. Mamie woke us up at 6:30 Saturday morning to tell us that it had snowed. She was so excited about it.
